HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 22, 1921.

Application filed October 27, 1919, Serial No. 333,525. Renewed July 12, 1920. Serial No. 395,764.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ,JOHN G. FArNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Leavenworth, in the county of Leavenworth and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a hanger for kitchen utensils, meats, clothing and the like and the principal object of the invention 1s to provide a hanger which may be suspended from a wall or other support and provided with hooks for receiving the articles to be supported.

Another object of the invention 1s to provide the hanger with a plurality of hooks so supported that the articles may be placed thereon or removed therefrom very easlly as said hooks have limited swinging movement.

The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention, reference Wlll be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters, denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and

in which Figure 1 is a front view of the hanger. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Figs. 3 and/i are detail views. As shown in these views the hanger consists of a base board 1 which at its upper edge is provided with a suspension loop 2. The hook carrying member 3 is formed from one piece of wire having its middle portlon brought together and twisted to form the arm 4:. From this arm the end portlons of the wire are bent at right angles and curved inwardly as shown in Fig. 2. Loops are formed at the end of the arm and at the extremities of the bent wires to receive the supporting nails 5 for holding the wire to the supporting base. The bent ends of the wire are twisted into a plurality of loops6 which are spaced apart and are adapted to receive the hooks 7. The stems of these hooks are formed with eyelets 8 for engaging the loops 6 and-the extreme end of the stem projects below the eyelet'to form a.

stock 9 to limit the swinging movement of the hook.

It will be seen that the 4 provides a brace for the middle of the hook carrying member and the hook. carrying ends are spaced from the base so as to facilitate the p-laclng of the articles on the hooks as the articles will be held a distance away from the base. By limiting the swinging movement of the hooks the articles may easily be removed from said hooks as the hooks Wlll not be carried upwardly as the articles are raised out of engagement with the hooks. 'Ihese hooks are provided with blunt pomts, ordinary points for clothing and sharp points for use in hanging meats.

It will be understood that in some cases the base may be omitted and the member 3. i

parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A device ofthe class described comprising a base, a bowed member carried thereby, a central supporting arm for the member and hooks carried by the bowed member.

2. A device of the class described comprising a base, a hook carrying member secured thereto and formed from a single piece of wire having a central twisting member forming a supporting arm with the end parts of the wire bent at right angles and curved inwardly from said arm and being twisted to form spaced loops, hooks engag ing said loops and means for connecting the extremities of the wire and the arm to the base. Y

In testimony whereof I afiix my si ature.

JOHN G. PA NE.
